6 reasons why you should go to a festival this summer
- Written by News Company
Festivals are among those human inventions that make your summer (or maybe your life) buzz, that push your limits far beyond the comfort zone and that can turn into a powerful enough reason to get out of bed in the mornings. If you are still not convinced that it is worthwhile to spend a few days in the coming months to go to a festival, the arguments below might make you think a little more.
1. Memories to be told
Ask us and we will tell you that summer was created to give mortals the chance to experience events that load the soul and that can be transformed later in the stories told to a cup of hot chocolate in winter. For the memories that will warm you in January, it is worth landing directly, for example, on Costa Azahar beach in Benicassim, Spain for the FIB festival.
2. Cancel the routine
If for some time now your days are more and more like one another, a sudden and powerful change of energy may be just as if you were entering the sea for a few seconds after laying on the beach a few hours in full August (we do not recommend). The energy that surrounds you from all sides during such a rave and that comes from dancing, from music, from the hugs of the crowd of people united by the same feeling will remind you that a million feelings await you out there, out of the ordinary of your everyday life.
3. People from all over the world
Let's see ... how many times in a year do you have the opportunity to meet new people, different, from all corners of the Earth, with whom you can share everything you have for a few days and with whom you can connect and become friends? Of course, you can get to know people in the virtual world as well, on social media, while playing games like RPGs or while enjoying classic games from an online casino. You don’t have to walk anywhere and stay at home on your devices, in your bed, but, people are a strong enough reason for anything, and people at festivals are an experience in themselves that you owe this summer.
4. Old friends, new surprises
And you will not only know the people you do not know yet, but also those you already know. A little ambiguous? Clear. Plan the trip with a few of your close friends, with whom you have never shared such experiences and you will have the opportunity to discover about them things that you may have never even suspected. It is very possible that during these few days of the festival the intensity of the things lived together will bring you even closer to those you spend your time with (valid for couples).
5. The gods of music in the flesh and bones
You may think that this is the main argument, that music, along with your favorite artists, is a good enough reason to cross seas and countries. Yes, people have the ability to fall in love with the people who come into their life through a Soundcloud link, go with them on the subway months in a row, hear in their ears at the office and make them fall asleep in a pair of headphones. These are the music artists, right? We have all been/are overwhelmed by such talents and we go to see them live because we want to give a body and an expression to these creative voices or minds that produce the music that defines and dictates our style.
6. Art everywhere you look
Often, at events like this you have the opportunity to find many non-conformist creators, and the Sziget festival in Budapest is just one of those examples. The Big Wall Project, the huge wall painted on various themes throughout the festival, Hello Wood, the project that demonstrates what can be done from wood and creativity, the theater sequences and more and more such events with which you can make art.
Conclusion
Finally, we want to clarify one thing. Nobody has said that going to a festival is easy. Anything, less easy. Nor is it a good experience for everyone. Yes, you need to plan things in more detail, not expect that you will get precisely your favorite food, surely your legs will last after a dance marathon for a few days and the place will be at least crowded, but it is just about the unknown and the adventure.
What we can guarantee, however, is that a festival will make your heart beat like it breaks your chest, blood will flow faster than Niagara and will cause your body to clear adrenaline in waves. So, who's in?
